Hi,
I have a local network with ad-hoc topology. Linux nodes have multiple network
interfaces and act both as data sources/receivers and as IP routers. Each
network segment is connected to just two nodes, like a point-to-point Ethernet
link. The network topology may contain loops. I would like to use mDNS and DNS-
SD in this scenario.
My question is: can I use the mDNS reflector to have mDNS span over multiple
network segments which are not bridged together ? Is the reflector being
capable of managing loops?
In case not, what would you recommend to have (almost) zeroconf name
resolution and service discovery? Dynamic DNS + DNS-SD wide area?
Thanks a lot for your help,
Massimiliano
